The Knights Templar originated around the Year 1118 on earth, they became officially endorsed by the Roman Catholic Church by 1129 the Order became a favored charity throughout Christendom and grew rapidly in membership and power. Templar knights, in their distinctive white mantels with a red cross, were among the most skilled fighting units of the crusades. The organization was at the forefront of battles during the middle ages for over two centuries. Known for leading from the front and never backing down.
The white robes with a red cross that the Templars wore over their Bodyarmour was a symbol of martyrdom and to die in combat was considered a great honor. There was a cardinal rule that the warriors of the Order should never surrender. This uncompromising principle, along with their reputation for courage, excellent training, and heavy armament, made the Templars one of the most feared combat forces.
History tells us that the Templars were disbanded in 1312 and were hunted down and killed. This however is speculation as the legend continues and the Knights Templar are still well known today. Why is that? Yes they were persecuted but only driven underground to act in the background in world affairs for millennia. They pursued the original orders to help and assist but this was changed to cover the wider affairs of men across the world. The aim to drive out the wrong doers and pirates, to make the worlds of man a better place to bring order and banish anarchy, constantly pursuing the ideals of the Templars.
The services to mankind has been maintained now for thousands of years, all we require back is a polite thank you and the comfort in knowing that humanity is developing in a positive way. But due to our history we have kept a low profile and used infiltration methods to bring our enemies down. As an elite fighting force we have helped create and joined in with many know groups over the history of mankind, from the early pre space flight years as Navy Seals, SAS, KSK to name but a few, the Order was involved and activly took part in the first exploration and settlement on Mars , from there we took part and were active in so many Organsaions such as the early NASA, WSA and the first flight with the new discoverd Frame Shift Technologie to becoming involved in the expansion of human space throughout our galaxy. Some of our members are Elite explorers and traders. Others have vast combat experience from the first encounters with the dreaded Thargoids back in the early days of expansion. All still keep with the original code of Templars. Look for the ships painted white for they could be part of this order and will provide help and assistance to the weak and unfortunate, However if you are wanted or hostile towards them there vengeance will know no bounds The Templars uncompromising principle, along with their courage and tenacity has made the Templars one of the most feared combat forces from medieval times into the present day. If you come across a wing of Templars to stand and fight would be a very bad idea, they will not back down there courage and resilience is limitless.
